I wanted to give back to all of you, and so, I picked my top 20 photos of 2009…and trust me….it was soooo hard. I love each and every session for different reasons, each photo I chose isn’t necessarily the best photographically but some just mean a lot to me.

A little girl only turns two years old once…and what a cutie she is. She had all of her friends & family over and everyone had a blast.  The weather turned out perfectly even though mom was so worried it was going to rain!

Recognize this next little guy? I can not get over how big he has gotten…he is still such a sweetie, and calm natured just little his mommy but  identical to his Dad, yup it is mini moe!

True Love is eternal. It is timeless with no beginning and no end. The symbolism of the rings is just that, a circle of eternity, a love that will last forever.  Fighting the odds and sticking by one another through thick and thin.

I am quite confident that this fun loving, beautiful couple will do just that. It is in the way he glances at her when nobody is looking or the way she smiles after he holds her tight and kisses her. These are things that are shown without words, that can only be noticed if one takes the time to look. This is why I love what I do. I love being able to transmit these emotions, and show them as I see them.  I know I am a very expressive, emotional being, and each moment has meaning, so I take my inner emotions and escape into your reality to create your story for you to have forever.

Erin and Angus, I hope with all my heart we were able to capture all your moments for you. It was a pleasure being part of your special day. Here is a little sneak peek of your day. And for someone who I was told doesn’t like to smile…Angus you did great The day could not have been more perfect. Congratulations!

there it is....that smile

Though not an easy task to get a family of 13 to look at the camera, smile and not close their eyes, I think we did a pretty good job. After a little getting-to-know-you time, everyone loosened up and we had fun.

I truly hope you love these photos, I know how much it means to Ellie.

My absolute favorite of the bunch~

Is there anything sweeter than seeing a couple who has been together for so many years, holding hands…I think not. Congrats for having such a beautiful family! You should both be very proud.

-They say that a picture is worth a thousand words… so shouldn’t that be reflected in each and every photo?                                                                                        

-Photographs are our memories, of those special moments, we just never want to forget…and yes we unfortunately do tend to forget…I not only photograph your family but I take the time necessary to get those priceless memories.  Plus I custom design beautiful keepsakes; coffee table books, leather flush mount albums, cards, etc. to keep them all in!

For these reasons and many more mellanied photography is offering something much different than any experience you have ever had anywhere else. It is my goal, and passion to capture you, your family, your kids…naturally. I work with you before, during and after your session to ensure the final product is something you will treasure always.

A Customized Photography is a Luxury, but I think every family needs to do it at least once in your life and your childrens life. My  session fee starts at 150$ and most clients expect to pay between 650-1200$ to get a nice variety of custom art from their sessions.

This includes a  1-3 hour *on-location session, my time and talent, 25-40 completely retouched photos on a password protected online gallery for you to share with friends and family for 7 days; this enables you take your time choosing, in the privacy of your home, the prints you want to purchase.

19 personnes ! Eh oui 19 petits-enfants ont prévu cette session et se sont réunis pour une session de photo et ainsi pouvoir offrir  à leur grand mère un cedeau d’anniversaire original. Chacun d’eux était tellement gentil, j’ai eu tellement de plaisir à réaliser ce défi. Je dois vous avouer qu’au départ j’ai hésiter à me lancer dans cette aventure. Vous comprendrez qu’une session de photo avec 19 personnes représente tout un défi. Je peux affirmer maintenant que je suis très heureuse du travail accompli.
